Description:
Biscuit & Gravy Casserole is a comforting Southern-inspired breakfast casserole featuring layers of golden biscuits, savory sausage gravy, and fluffy scrambled eggs. It’s easy to make and perfect for feeding a hungry crowd!
Ingredients (Quantities):
- Breakfast sausage: 1 lb (mild or spicy)
- All-purpose flour: ¼ cup
- Milk: 3 cups
- Salt and black pepper: to taste
- Refrigerated biscuit dough: 1 can (about 8 biscuits, cut into quarters)
- Eggs: 6 large
- Shredded cheddar cheese: 1 cup
- Butter: 1 tablespoon
Optional Ingredients:
- Chopped green onions: for garnish
- Red pepper flakes: for a touch of heat
- Fresh parsley: chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Sausage Gravy:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled. Drain excess fat if needed, then sprinkle in the flour. Stir well, cooking for about 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly. Simmer until the gravy thickens (about 5-7 minutes), then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
2. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Dish:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
3. Prepare the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs. In a separate skillet, melt the butter and cook the eggs just until soft scrambled (they’ll finish cooking in the oven).
4. Assemble the Casserole:
- Arrange half of the biscuit pieces on the bottom of the baking dish. Pour the sausage gravy over the biscuits, then layer the scrambled eggs on top.
- Add the remaining biscuit pieces on top of the eggs, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Bake:
- Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and the cheese is bubbly.
6. Garnish and Serve:
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with green onions or parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Tips for Success:
- Thicker gravy: If you like a thicker gravy, let it simmer a few extra minutes before pouring over the biscuits.
- Use flaky biscuits: They bake up beautifully and add great texture.
- Add veggies: Sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions can be added to the sausage gravy for extra flavor.
Recommendations:
- Serve with a fresh fruit salad or a side of hash browns for a complete breakfast.
